I want to say thank you to first to anyone who can help this
novice! ;O) ...very novice at scripting

I need a script that can perform a file copy, and output info to a
log.

I have approximately 4000 CD's I need to copy to a local hard drive.
In the process I need to keep track of how much time it takes to copy
each CD which consist of one file to multiple files and folders. I
also need to verify the Checksums against each other with MD5sum.exe.
Optimaly I would like to create a log file that is appended each time
with all that information.

Here are the steps of what I am envisioning:

Create folder: d:\location\new_folder_name (from user input)
copy file(s): copy e:\* d:\location\new_folder_name
Checksum: md5sum d:\location\new_folder_name\*
Output to logfile: ********************************************
new_folder_name
Original file
MD5 (or even if possible something
like
Copy
MD5 MD5 = verified as
an output from
Total time for the process =
hh:mm:ss checking them both)

********************************************

This doesn't seem like it would be a particularly tough script but I
have so little experience I can't figure it out. If anyone has
something like this I would be very grateful. If not and it is a
simple thing to do I would love it it you could put something together
for me with notes (a little lesson if you will).


Are you using md5sum.exe found at http://www.etree.org/md5com.html?

I can't comprehend your "Output to logfile:" layout.
